We encourage all guests to offer giveaways as this is a way to engage the listeners and is encouraged by the station one to two giveaways for the show and one for the website.
In order for us to have some focus for the show and interview we ask that chef’s offer a complimentary restaurant/ cooking class or product review so that we can talk from a position of experience. This is usually undertaken in the week prior to the interview.
Please note that 89.7FM is run on a volunteer basis so hosts are not paid but give their time because they are passionate about their subject matter.
We also request that food guests bring in a dish showcasing what we are discussing and this allows us to try to wine or spirit match during the show.

Authors are required to bring in their book and to offer one signed copy as giveaways.

All giveaways are distributed by the company offering them. Please do not bring them into the studio.

Online Market Place Listing

You Don’t Want to Miss this Opportunity

FoodinFocus Radio has a national listenership and the website and Facebook pages are constantly increasing in subscribers and Likes. While radio is an excellent medium for promotion it is not easy to remember complex product names or websites. In order to make it easy for our audience and visitors to find your product we have launched an online Market Place. Products are displayed under a category and titled with a direct link to your website or the product purchase page. As part of this service we include the product info on our newsletter, in a post, on the Facebook page and on twitter plus we add a personal note of approval. All products are subject to our approval process and need to be artisan products or healthy products made in Australia. The listing is for a full month and costs $47 per product per month. We strongly suggest that this is done before the radio show as it then means listeners can be directed immediately to the page. We also encourage subscriber giveaways as a sampling exercise. Please let us know if this option is required and we will set it up for you. We require a good image, product info, a link and a sample to try. Please email us on nmoy@foodinfocus.com.au (Minimum booking – 3 months)

FoodinFocus Quotes and feedback: Chefs

Quotes from Celebrity Chef’s who have been on my show, each one of these chef’s have been on my show two or three times, for top chef’s who are busy and especially on a Saturday right before service this is a very good indication that the show is not only enjoyable (many stay for the full two hours) but also relevant to their industry. I feel confident that there is not a guest I have had on that would not say they had fun and would come back again.

Michael Moore – Owner/O Bar and RestaurantRegular guest Chef on Kerry Ann Kennerly’s Fresh in the morningNatascha has created a unique and informal show that attracts a sophisticated audience that loves food and wine. She is passionate about food and has a terrific way of drawing the right information from her guests and then repackaging it in fuss free way to her loyal listeners.I wish there were more like her but there is only one.I am always interested to see what she does next.I am a fan.

Stewart white – Chair of Judges for the restaurant and Catering Awards, Vice President of the Australian Association of Food ProfessionalsNatascha Moy and her Food In Focus show is a breath of fresh air for food lovers on Sydney radio. She coos warmth and fun while her natural infectious effervescence bringing out the best and the unexpected from her galaxy of food, beverage and lifestyle guests. Her unbridled passion for all things culinary bubbles out of the radio and makes an informative two hours pass in a gulp. Carolyn Creswell – Founder Carman’s Muesli I loved being on the show and every Saturday afternoon I try and get to a computer to listen via the streaming. I wish they would podcast you!
